Failed authorization procedure. w2.dbate.co (http-01): urn:acme:error:unauthorized :: The client lacks sufficient authorization :: Invalid response from http://w2.dbate.co/.well-known/acme-challenge/m6f7Ib4s8Wu8LrTsht4fkMipK8b6zMKXhof4dwQEc6k: "<meta name=“viewport” content=“width=device-w”

IMPORTANT NOTES:

You have to locate the path /.well-known/acme-challenge in your filesystem. Then place a file “test” there and try to access it via http://w2.dbate.co/.well-known/acme-challenge/test. Unless this works, the location of this file in the filesystem is wrong and certbot won’t create the challenge files in the correct directory.
